Stenciled Beach Tote

I've had this tote bag since last summer. Yup, over a year.  I don't remember where I got it from but I came across it tonight and decided to give it a beachy touch since beach season is finally upon us:

I used fabric paint to stencil in my letters.  While they were drying, I printed off the blue starfish onto transfer paper, and ironed them on.

I tied the little starfish on with twine as the finishing touch.  I'm ready for the beach!
